The pairing of a Nocturn 3 Gospel pericope with its patristic homily
should render as two distinct, visually-distinguished parts rather than
one concatenated lesson; bible-plan Gospel readings stay pericope-only.

Screen readers announced "list, N items" for continuous liturgical text
that isn't conceptually a list; styling is class-based so no CSS changes
were needed.
He always lost to St. Augustine and, per the generous-commemoration
design, only ever surfaced as a commemoration, so removing him from
the date list suppresses him entirely. st-hermes.yml and its collect
are left in place, restorable by re-adding the list entry.

This Duplex I classis feast (instituted by Pius IX, 1847) didn't exist
anywhere in vu's calendar. Dated per the older, pre-1955 reckoning --
Wednesday after the 2nd Sunday after Easter (Easter+17) -- rather than the
1913 Pius X reform's later placement on the 3rd Sunday after Easter
itself, per direct instruction. Mechanism: one new temporal-feast record
plus a new EASTER_OFFSET_STARTS table entry (the only code change --
everything else is the existing generic anchor-driven resolution).
Authored the feast day's own Matins reading and its full 7-day octave
(days 2/3/4/6/7/8; day 5, the Sunday, has no override in the source at
all, correctly left unauthored).
Fixed one real collateral effect: an existing fixed-year calendar test
(St. Pudentiana vs. St. Peter Celestine, 2038-05-19) broke because that
date now falls on this octave's own closing day, tying Celestine's rank
against the octave's threshold -- the app's own documented tie-break
correctly favors the octave that year. Moved the proof date to 2033.
Also bumped the PWA precache file-size cap (6 MiB -> 8 MiB) since this
content pull pushed the main bundle past the previous limit.

St. Stephen, St. John the Apostle, and Holy Innocents each have an 8-day
octave overlapping Christmas week, but their intervening days (2-7) carry
no distinct Lectio content in the source -- every suffix file checked at
Dec 27-31 is a bare @Sancti/MM-DD alias, correctly left unauthored, same
pattern as the fixed-date octaves. Only each octave's own closing "In
Octava" day (Jan 2/3/4 respectively) carries real content: St. Augustine's
sermon on Stephen + St. Jerome on Matt 23:34-35; St. Augustine's Tractate
36 on John + St. John Chrysostom on John 21:20-24; St. Augustine's first
sermon for Childermas + St. John Chrysostom on Matt 2:13-18.
This closes the octave-readings backlog entirely -- every fixed-date,
movable-feast, and Christmas-week saint octave has now been audited by
calendar date against the source.

Ascension, Corpus Christi, and Sacred Heart octave content lives in the
reference engine's Tempora/ directory, keyed by liturgical offset from
Easter rather than calendar date. All three octaves' 7 non-feast days
(day 2 through the closing day) turned out to have genuine, distinct
patristic content -- unlike the fixed-date octaves, none were bare
vide-only days. 21 files authored across the three octaves.
Found and fixed one duplication along the way: each octave's own Sunday
day turned out to duplicate content already authored under a different id
in the earlier post-Pentecost temporal-cycle sweep, since a numbered
post-Pentecost Sunday and the Sunday within Corpus Christi's or Sacred
Heart's octave are structurally the same calendar day every year. Both
duplicate files (corpus-christi-octave-day-4, sacred-heart-octave-day-3)
were dropped after confirming the reading still surfaces via the existing
temporal id.

Re-auditing the two prior sanctoral bulk passes (pre-1955 Tridentine track
and SanctiM Monastic-1617 track) turned up one saint missed by both:
St. Felix I (May 30), authored the same single-lesson shape as
st-pontian.yml. This closes the saint-level side of the Matins
patristic/hagiographic reading backlog.
Separately, auditing octave-day content by calendar date (the reference
engine keys it that way, not by octave-day-number) found two real gaps in
already-partially-authored fixed-date octaves: Immaculate Conception's own
closing day (Dec 15, Pius IX bull + St. Epiphanius homily) and Nativity of
the BVM's day 3 (Sep 10, St. Jerome on Matthew's genealogy -- no usable
reference English, own translation used, draft). Every other apparent gap
in these octaves was confirmed a correctly-empty vide-only day, not a
further gap.

Commune/C7's own invitatory antiphon ("Laudémus Deum nostrum * In
confessióne beátæ N..") needs a per-saint genitive-singular name, unlike
every other Common invitatory antiphon currently authored. Exports
resolve-common.ts's existing substituteName helper (previously only used
by getDayCollect for collectCommon/collectName) and wires it into
resolveMatinsInvitatoryText via a new SaintRecord.invitatoryName field
-- kept separate from collectName since the two templates' {N}
placeholders don't always need the same grammatical case. Fills in real

Common-of-an-Apostle authored, so every other Common category fell all

Confessor family (5 duplicated ids, matching the hymn's own precedent),
Martyr family (2 ids + Several Martyrs), Virgin family (2 ids), and
Dedication — all read directly from the reference engine's own

Adds pre-1955 TemporalFeastRecords (rank duplex-1-classis, real octaves)
for the three "feasts of the Lord" that were previously only referenced
as bare date offsets: Corpus Christi/Sacred Heart's own days already
couldn't lose to a sanctoral candidate, but with no record the day fell
back to the generic Trinity-week feria collect and never displayed its
real name; Ascension had no protection at all against an ordinary saint
winning it outright. Sacred Heart's own record carries the
forbidsSuccessorCommemoration flag added in the prior commit, refusing to
commemorate Most Precious Blood on the rare late-Easter date they fall
adjacent.
octave.wins is set to duplex on all three, matching Pentecost's own
verified threshold, despite a known conflict with a previously
live-verified case (St. Ubald winning First Vespers within Ascension's
own octave) -- kept per direct instruction; the affected tests (Ubald,
St. Margaret of Scotland) were updated to assert the new behavior, and
the tradeoff is documented in ascension.yml and TODO.md. A handful of
unrelated test fixtures that happened to land inside these new octave
windows were moved to nearby clean dates.

A commemoration that only exists because Vespers/Compline crossed a day
boundary now renders as "(of today)"/"(of tomorrow)" in English and the
real Divino Afflatu "de præcedenti"/"de sequenti" in Latin, instead of
showing silently with no indication it's a cross-day artifact.
Also adds forbidsSuccessorCommemoration to SaintRecord and
TemporalFeastRecord: a feast can now refuse to commemorate whatever wins
the next day at its own kept Second Vespers, the feast-side mirror of the
day-side privilege calendar/commemorations.ts already modeled. Left unset
everywhere for now (a no-op) -- it exists so the next commit's Sacred
Heart record has somewhere to carry the real, live-sourced exclusion
against Most Precious Blood.

resolveMatinsHymn (hours/matins.ts) is a separate mechanism from
resolveOfficeBundle, with its own fallback chain (proper -> active
octave -> Common via SaintRecord.common -> season -> ferial). Only the
Confessor family and Apostle had a matins-hymn-<id>.yml before this
pass; everything else fell through to season/ferial at Matins
specifically, even after the Lauds/Vespers fixes.
Live-verified and authored: common-of-several-martyrs ("Ætérna Christi
múnera, Et Mártyrum victórias"), common-of-an-abbot and
common-of-several-confessors (= Confessor-Not-Bishop's hymn, same label
finding as Lauds/Vespers), common-of-a-virgin-martyr/-virgin ("Vírginis
Proles"), common-of-a-holy-woman/-widow (a genuinely shorter closing-two-
stanzas form, "Hujus obténtu, Deus alme"), Guardian Angels/St.
Michael/St. Gabriel/St. Raphael (reused from St. Michael's Apparition,
confirmed via SanctiM/05-08.txt's own cross-reference), common-of-the-
bvm ("Quem terra, pontus, ǽthera"), Finding/Exaltation of the Holy Cross
("Pange, lingua, gloriósi," the Nativity-themed other half of the same

Last of the 12-saint individual-Proprio list this session. Live-verified

("Salvéte, cedri Líbani," same text both hours); responsory and versicle
byte-identical to Common-of-Several-Martyrs's own already-authored

This closes the individual-saint Proprio pass: 10 real saints/feasts
imported, 2 flagged stubs (Ss. Alexander etc., Ss. Machabees) confirmed

Fully proper feast, live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic
Tridentinum 1617), 2027-05-03 for the Finding (its own 2026 date
collides with a privileged Sunday) and 2026-09-14 for the Exaltation.
Own chapter (Phil 2:5-7), own distinct responsory/hymn/versicle at each
hour -- Lauds hymn "Lustris sex qui jam peráctis," Vespers hymn "Vexílla
Regis pródeunt," both with real Alleluias baked into their own text

line, not seasonal contamination).

proper-to-the-finding-of-the-holy-cross, a different id than its propers

User-reported: 2026-08-24 Vespers (St. Bartholomew, Duplex II. classis,
keeps his own evening) should have commemorated 2026-08-25's St. Louis
(Simplex), but didn't. This was the exact untested asymmetry the old
commemorationOf's own doc comment flagged as "inferred by symmetry, not
independently live-verified." Live-verifying now shows the two
directions genuinely differ: a Simplex predecessor losing to tomorrow's
First Vespers is correctly excluded (Aug 7 Donatus case, "nihil de
præcedenti"), but a Simplex successor displaced because today keeps its
own Vespers IS still commemorated (Aug 24->25, "commemoratio de
sequenti").
Split the one shared commemorationOf into
commemorationOfDisplacedPredecessor (keeps the Simplex exclusion) and
commemorationOfDisplacedSuccessor (drops it).

Finished the "ferial/other" audit bucket via each saint's own source
file. Vigils (9 saints) are not a gap at all: every vigil's own [Rule]
explicitly says "Responsory Feria"/"Versum Feria" -- deliberate rubric,
matching this app's existing isFerialOrVigil convention. Even the "ex
C1v" tag on the 6 apostle vigils resolves to the same plain ferial text
when live-queried, confirming no override applies to the Lauds/Vespers
bundle for any vigil.
Common-of-the-BVM (5 feasts) is a real category: each source file says
plain "ex C11"/"vide C11". Live-verified votive=C11: chapter Sir 24:14,
Lauds hymn "O gloriósa Dómina" (the same pre-Urban-VIII text as the
Annunciation's own separate proper), Vespers hymn "Ave maris stella,"
same responsory at both hours, distinct versicles per hour.
Surfaced one masked collision: the Annunciation now resolves through
this Common instead of the ferial default (real improvement, still
interim until its own proper content is imported). Moved the
Passiontide-seasonal-office Vespers test off its date (Mar 25) onto the
clean Mar 30.

files under common-of-several-confessors.

[Rank]/[Rule] field directly instead of hunting for a per-saint clean
year to live-query -- it states the real Common assignment (or a direct
proper-content inheritance) with zero calendar dependency.
Guardian Angels/St. Gabriel/St. Raphael the Archangels' own files say
"vide C4," but that's a Missal/Mass-propers designation -- their real
Monastic-breviary file (SanctiM/10-02.txt) cross-references St. Michael's
Apparition (Sancti/05-08, already fully authored in this app) directly
for the chapter/responsory at every hour. No common-of-an-angel category
exists in the source at all. Duplicated St. Michael's Apparition's 7
Lauds/Vespers files under each of the three saints' own ids (proper
content, not a Common fallback), live-verified on their own real 2026

Both genuinely distinct from Virgin(-Martyr) -- different chapter
Prov 31:10-11 "Mulíerem fortem," different hymn "Fortem viríli péctore"
-- but share that category's exact responsory pattern and versicle
byte-for-byte in both hours. Live-verified via St. Anne's own real day
(Jul 26). St. Monica's real day (May 4) confirms common-of-a-widow
shares the identical content with common-of-a-holy-woman, so the same 7
files were duplicated under that id too -- first content authored for

common-of-a-confessor-doctor (4 saints) is another "same content,

than authored fresh, matching the already-existing matins-hymn-common-
of-a-confessor-doctor.yml precedent.
common-of-an-apostle (3 saints/feasts) is genuinely distinct: chapter
Eph 2:19-20, hymn "Exsúltet cælum láudibus" (byte-identical Lauds/
Vespers), shared versicle "Annuntiavérunt ópera Dei." Also duplicated
under the separate common-of-apostles (plural) id used by the Octave of
Ss. Peter and Paul.
Proofs: St. John Damascene (own day) + St. Robert Bellarmine (First
Vespers) for Confessor-Doctor; Commemoration of St. Paul (own day) + the
Beheading of St. John the Baptist (First Vespers) for Apostle.

Proof: St. Apollonia's own clean year (2029-02-09, her 2026 date collides

Fixed a real audit-methodology bug first: the bulk gap-audit was sampling
each saint's own date via prayVespera, which reflects whatever saint
claims First Vespers that evening (often a neighboring day's), not the
sampled saint's own category. Redid it via prayLaudes (no anticipation).
That surfaced the real finding: common-of-a-confessor (37 saints, this
app's largest remaining gap) isn't a distinct liturgical Common -- it's
common-of-a-confessor-not-bishop under a different label. St. Joseph's
and St. Thomas Aquinas's chapter is byte-identical to the already-
authored Sir 31:8-9 text, and several of the 37 saints' own file comments
already say "vide C5" (Confessor Not a Bishop) directly. Not relabeled
across the 37 saint files, since matins-hymn-common-of-a-confessor.yml
and benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml already establish this
plain id as the real, working one for those saints' Matins/Benedictus
content -- duplicated the Lauds/Vespers bundle under this id too, to
match that existing convention.
Updates two existing tests whose dates collided with this fix: the
FERIAL_MONDAY constant (moved off St. Raymond Nonnatus's own day) and a
new Vespers proof on St. Joseph's First Vespers.

Third Common category (17 real users) with no Lauds/Vespers bundle
authored. Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum
1617) votive=C4: chapter Sir 44:16-17 "Ecce sacérdos magnus," Lauds hymn
"Jesu Redémptor ómnium," shared versicle "Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias
rectas." Found the Vespers hymn is byte-identical to Common-of-a-
Confessor-Not-Bishop's own ("Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus") even though
the chapter, both responsories, and the Lauds hymn all genuinely differ
between the two categories -- reused that already-authored text verbatim
rather than re-deriving it.
No real Duplex-II-classis+ saint exists in this category, so the Vespers
proof uses St. Ubald's real First-Vespers anticipation instead of a
votive-only proof. Updates one existing test (2026-04-20, Paschaltide

First Vespers, previously masked by this same gap.

hymn "Deus tuorum militum," shared versicle "Justus ut palma florebit."
Used the votive-office view rather than a real saint's own day for the
same structural reason as the earlier Confessor-Not-Bishop fix: every
real Common-of-a-Martyr-Bishop saint either has proper content of his own
(St. Lawrence, St. Stephen) or never reaches the rank needed to keep his
own Vespers (St. Zephyrinus, St. Callistus). Cross-checked votive=C2/C2a/
C2b/C2-1 all render identical text, so the same 7 files were duplicated
under the plain common-of-a-martyr id too (St. Hadrian, St. Hermes, St.
Fidelis of Sigmaringen).
Updates one existing Vespers test whose date (2026-03-03) turned out to
also anticipate St. Lucius I's First Vespers, previously masked by this
same content gap; adds two new proof tests and a TODO.md entry.

Record that showing the ferial Preces on every ferial day (rather than
only Advent/Lent/vigils/Ember, per the historical rubric) is a
deliberate, currently-unaddressed backlog item, not an oversight.

Proof content for the new Common-fallback mechanism, live-verified
against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617): Lauds chapter/
responsory/hymn/versicle ("Jesu coróna célsior"), cross-checked
byte-identical between St. Louis's and St. Nicholas of Tolentino's own
days. Vespers bundle (hymn "Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus", reusing
the already-authored Matins hymn translation) sourced via the
reference engine's votive=C5 view instead of a real saint's own Second
Vespers, since every saint in this Common category has their own
Second Vespers permanently outranked by an adjacent fixed feast.
TODO.md records the fuller sourcing detail and the remaining open
Common categories.

Marks the Confessors (C4) hymn gap from the 2026-08-24 entry as done
and logs the Monastic-vs-secular textual-variant finding as a general
lesson about not trusting reused reference-engine translations.

Documents the full set of changes from this session: the
nocturnReadingIds precedence bug fix, the new Matins hymn Common-tier
and invitatory-antiphon mechanism (Common-of-an-Apostle content
authored, other Commons/seasons logged as backlog), the antiphon-
doubling dedup, and the Terce/Sext/None hymn dedup — including why the
Lauds/Vespers office-bundle resolvers were deliberately left alone
(they turned out not to be byte-identical: different override-
eligibility semantics) and why Matins's own octave hymn tier isn't
redundant with resolveOfficeWinner's octave-folding.

Matins now sings "Te decet laus" (Psalterium/Common/Prayers.txt's [Te
decet]) immediately after the Te Deum on every 3-nocturn day, matching
Rule of Benedict ch. 11's close of Vigils. New common text
te-decet-laus.yml, wired into both matins.ts branches that render a Te
Deum; absent on ferial days along with it.
Also drops Psalm 129 (De profundis) from the Lauds ferial Preces and
Psalm 50 (Miserere) from the Vespers ferial Preces, per direct
instruction — both were embedded inline in the live-transcribed text.
Updated the affected fixture tests to key off a versicle that survives
the removal instead of the now-absent psalm text.

All 53 nocturn-readings files with a responsory field started straight
into the text with no leading R., unlike octave-readings' own R./V.
convention. Fixed in content per direct instruction (not injected at
render time), matching each file's own existing plain V./R. style rather
than switching to octave-readings' R./V. glyphs.

buildReadingPool concatenated readings in id-processing order, so a later
post-Pentecost Sunday's Nocturn 3 (from its own temporalId file) could land
ahead of its Nocturn 2 (from the newly-added month-week id) in the pool,
flipping which nocturn slot each landed in. Group by each reading's own
nocturn tag instead, ascending, preserving id/file order within each group.
Also logs three follow-up items to TODO.md: displaying "Te decet laus",
the missing responsory marker convention in nocturn-readings content, and
removing Ps 129/50 from the Lauds/Vespers ferial Preces.

The later post-Pentecost Sundays' real Nocturn 2 patristic content isn't
keyed by Pentecost offset in the reference engine — it's keyed by civil
calendar month/week (the old "Scriptura occurrens" cycle), which shifts
relative to post-pentecost-NN every year depending on Easter's date. Port
Date.pm's monthday() algorithm (pre-1955/Tridentine rubrics) as a new,
date-driven id, author all 20 August-November month-week files from the
reference engine's Tempora/0MN-0.txt sources, and pool them in
hours/matins.ts as a third, independent reading source alongside the
existing temporalId lookup.

Closes the gap the user found on 2026-08-23 (post-pentecost-13's Matins had
no patristic reading): nocturn-readings/ had content for only one temporal
id (post-pentecost-15, the original mechanism proof date). Since
resolveTemporalId maps every day in a liturgical week to the same id, one
file per id covers the whole week — authored all 23 remaining
post-pentecost-NN ids (01-14, 16-24) from the reference engine's own
Tempora/PentNN-0.txt files. Trinity Sunday (01) keeps its own full proper
office including a displaced-Sunday commemoration; 02-11 have real Nocturn
2+3 content; 12 onward are Nocturn-3-only (homily, Gospel incipit skipped
per convention), reusing the same two responsories the source itself
cross-references week to week.
Rest of the temporal cycle (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany/Septuagesima/Lent/
Easter) is a separate follow-up pass, tracked in TODO.md.

Researched whether September/Advent Ember days belong in the
movable-feasts.ts table alongside Christ the King/Immaculate Heart of
Mary. Live-verified against the reference engine they don't: Ember days
are privileged ferias (a saint can still win outright against them), not
named feasts contesting the day by rank.
Two smaller pieces instead: calendar/temporal.ts's septemberEmberDayOffset
(Sunday nearest Sept 14, same "nearest" arithmetic adventStart already
used, factored into a shared nearestSunday helper) feeds a new
resolveTemporalCategory check giving those 3 dates privileged-feria-minor
(live-verified correct); calendar/ember-days.ts's applyEmberDay relabels
the day's own temporal id to the Ember day's own (so its real content is
found) when the feria itself wins, or adds a commemoration when a saint
does. Advent Ember days needed no precedence change -- Advent's own
season default already covers them.
Found and fixed a real bug along the way: matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds
only ever pulled a commemorated *sanctoral* id's own readings, never a
commemorated *temporal* one's -- so a commemorated Ember day (the common
case) would never have surfaced its own content. Same root cause as the
day.winner.id gap the IHM relocation fixed earlier, just hiding in the
commemorations loop instead.
Authored all 6 days' real collect + 3 Matins readings each, transcribed
directly from the reference engine (September: Tempora/093-{3,5,6}.txt;
Advent: Tempora/Adv3-{3,5,6}.txt, whose lessons are themselves a
cross-reference to the Annunciation's own Common, followed and
transcribed from there). Kept as 3 separate readings per day rather than
the usual combine-into-one default, since each carries its own
genuinely distinct proper responsory.

The bespoke applyImmaculateHeart function (following the applyMarianSaturday/
applyChristTheKing precedent of one hand-written override function per
feast) doesn't scale: several more feasts are planned that all reduce to
"weekday N days from Easter Sunday" (Ember/Rogation days, more
Sacred-Heart-family Marian devotions, St. Joseph's pre-1955 Eastertide
feast, Lenten Friday Passion devotions), and one-off functions invite
subtle ordering bugs -- applyImmaculateHeart had to be sequenced after
applyMarianSaturday specifically or it would have been silently clobbered.
Replaced with calendar/movable-feasts.ts's generic applyMovableFeasts,
which scans calendar/temporal-feasts.ts's existing per-feast YAML records
for a new optional `easterOffset` field. Adding the next movable feast is
now a new data/calendar/temporal-feasts/<id>.yml file with `rank` and
`easterOffset` set, not a new TypeScript function. Same rank-compared,
commemorate-the-loser semantics as before, just centralized instead of
duplicated per feast.
christ-the-king, marian-saturday, and christmas-octave-sunday stay as
their own functions -- they're structurally different rules (a fixed
month-position search, a date-less fallback default, and a fixed-date-
range Sunday search, respectively), not Easter offsets, so force-fitting
them into this table wouldn't actually simplify anything.
No behavior change -- the existing Immaculate Heart of Mary test suite
passes unchanged through the new generic path.

resolveMatinsHymn's own doc comment already claimed the octave "keeps
the feast's own proper hymn all week," but the code never implemented
it -- it only matched when the day's own winner literally was
`assumption` (Aug 15 itself). Every other octave day (16, 17, 19, 20,
21, none of whom has a Matins hymn of their own authored) fell straight
through to the plain ferial hymn instead.
Adds a real octave-fallback tier between the existing per-feast override
and the seasonal tier. A deliberate departure from the reference engine,
which doesn't do this either (Monastic 1617's octave days have no
[Hymnus Matutinum] override at all) -- consistent with how this project
already treats octave readings/commemorations more generously than any
one source track.

Fixed Aug 22 collided outright with the Assumption's own octave-closing
day (both this project's blended calendar tracks are kept deliberately,
so one shouldn't permanently suppress the other). Moved IHM to the
Saturday after the Feast of the Sacred Heart -- its real diocesan date
from 1914 until Pius XII's 1944 fixed-date decree, and also the date the
1969 reform returned to.
Required real new mechanism, not just a data move: a new bespoke
calendar/index.ts override (applyImmaculateHeart, following the existing
applyMarianSaturday/applyChristTheKing precedent), a move from the
sanctoral saints store to the temporal-feasts store (different propers
lookup entirely), and a real bug fix in matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds,
which only ever picked up a *sanctoral* winner's own reading file.
